Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 463 Treasures
Sylvia’s POV:
Despite her blindness, Alva seemed to be very familiar with the place.
As she held my hand, she used her other hand to scale the walls of the building around her.
Soon, we arrived at the back door of the orphanage.
This door was more worn out than the front door. Although it was made of stone bricks, it was still dusty and had a lot of things piled up against it.
Alva easily walked past the piles and forged on ahead. Along the path, I noticed many old facilities for children’s amusement. Further down the road, we even passed by an abandoned children’s park.
It looked like it was built in the early days of the orphanage.
Just as I was wondering how Felix could manage to get to the children’s park without going through the back door, I noticed another path that was directly connected to the huge wall.
No wonder Felix had never been found.
“Since when have you been staying here, Alva?” I asked Alva.
Alva tilted her head for a moment and thought. “I don’t know. I’ve been here for as long as I can remember.”
“Well… Where are your parents?” I did not want to ask a little girl this sensitive question immediately, but this was the only way I could help solve her problem.
But Alva didn’t seem to get affected by the question as much. She replied innocently, “I don’t know. I only have my brother.”
I couldn’t bear to ask about her parents anymore, so I moved on and asked about Felix instead.
Still, the little girl didn’t seem to know much about her brother’s whereabouts. Felix probably didn’t want to tell her much and had to lie that the outside world was wonderful.
Finally, Alva led us to a hidden air-raid shelter. The shelter was located to the west of the children’s park, its back facing the orphanage. The entrance was covered with thick vines, perfectly concealing it.
“At nine o’clock, we are required to go to bed. But when the lights are off and everyone is sleeping, I sneak out and wait for my brother here.” Alva sK*llfully crawled past the vines and invited me into the shelter. “Come on in, young lady. Let’s sit.”
I followed her in.
The air-raid shelter was not that big, but it was probably enough to accommodate about a dozen werewolves inside. Alva and Felix were young and small. This space was more than enough for them.
Alva knew where the area was clean enough to sit. She then rummaged through a pile of things on the side and showed them off. “Young lady, look. These are gifts my brother gave me that I hide here.”
I gently touched her gifts with pity in my heart.
Alva’s treasures were nothing more than rubbish from outside the wall. There was a broken music box, some glassmarbles that were scratched up, and withered flowers.
Still, they were all clean. There were even some snacks. I couldn’t imagine how difficult it must have been for Felix to obtain these things outside the wall.
“Does this look beautiful, young lady?” Alva smiled as she raised a white stuffed bear toy to my face that only had one ear left. She was like a hamster showing me her hidden treasures.
“Yes, it is.” I ch*oked back my tears.
Alva then sighed. “My brother didn’t come to see me yesterday and I don’t know why.”
Guilt filled my heart and I couldn’t help but hug her. We stopped Felix yesterday. That was why he couldn’t see Alva.
“You will see your brother tonight.” I tried to comfort the little girl.
However, Alva shook her head. “He won’t be coming tonight either.”
